Chapter XVIII

In the pool of blood, there are two other extraordinary objects.

One is the short blade that Roman had seen when he fought with the witch before, which was slightly longer than a dagger, and by checking his memory, Roman knew that the function of this short blade was very simple, that is, to improve the user's strength and fighting ability, and there was no negative effect. There are many ways to achieve similar functions, and it may even be that they do not have extraordinary properties, and are simply weapons made from spiritual materials by craftsmen.

The other is a ring, rugged in shape, made of silver-gray metal, set with a blue gemstone.

The function of this extraordinary object is also very simple, which is to increase the user's strength while increasing the user's ability to move and breathe underwater.

This sense of déjà vu is too strong, and at first glance it is a "sailor".

Carefully putting away the two extraordinary items, Roman looked at the last thing of value in the pool of blood.

It was a dark blue gem with a vertical eye.

Roman knew that this was the extraordinary trait of a witch who had just been precipitated.

Carefully packed with tin boxes for extraordinary properties, Roman looked around the room, which contained a lot of spiritual materials, as well as the remnants of the curse ritual, and a lot of materials and documents.

There is no impression in his memory of any of the extraordinary traps set in these materials, and Roman does not intend to touch them.

Including the remnants of the house, Roman didn't plan to do anything.

These are to be reserved for the "substitute punisher", if Roman, who lacks occult knowledge, has superfluous actions, he will inevitably not be able to hide the standard configuration of the "detective" in the "substitute punishment" team, and may even be a "polydith", but will bring unnecessary trouble to himself and arouse the suspicion of the "substitute punisher".

Roman sets the position of his own person, a victim after a witch attack, a zealous warrior who observes that the witch's state is not right and is worried that she is out of control, so he tracks him all the way to avoid unnecessary casualties among ordinary people, and a lucky person who encounters a witch who is out of control and is killed by cursed ritual magic.

As for why the witch ritual failed, how do I know? I'm a warrior, and I don't know how to do ritual magic.

This kind of statement may have some coincidences and luck, and may be a little suspicious, but it is consistent with the situation at the scene seen by the "substitutes", and the reason why Roman is not afraid of being exposed is that most of what he said is the truth, and as for the little bit of concealment, Roman does not believe that he can find out the head of the "City of Calamity", even if it is a "polyrudido".

Of course, there will inevitably be follow-up observations and discernments, but as a peripheral member of the Storm Church, even if it is a violent "substitute", he will not choose to directly disadvantage me.

Roman sorted out his thoughts, looked around again, and then exited the house, identified the road outside, and walked in the direction of the Church of the Waves.

Along the main road, in the darkness, Roman saw a group of shadowy figures, through the light of the gas street lamp, walking in his direction.

Roman also noticed the outfit of this group, uniformly wearing dark blue clerical robes, and the leader wearing the Storm Emblem, and the cuffs of the robes had obvious lightning patterns.

Roman also saw Sothos in it. Yang's figure, his face was as usual, and his spirit seemed to be a little sluggish.

The people on the other side also spotted Roman and began to be on guard.

Roman raised his hands, "I'm Roman from the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Society. Calpo, I've found a Gnostic stronghold! ”

Roman's words made the leader of the opposite side of the Storm Church Deacon, the captain of this "substitute" squad, Córdoba. Royer held back his words when he wanted to ask.

Although Captain Fred had said that the situation of their Seagull Team had been reported to Bishop Chogori, on the one hand, their team still had to carry out a relatively secret mission, and on the other hand, Roman did not know who the deacon of the Storm Church was in front of him, so he only said that he was from the "Adventurers' Mutual Aid Society".

Since seeing Sothos. Jan is in the team, and it shouldn't be a big problem for him to say that.

Opposite the deacon of Córdoba. Royer whispered a question to Sotos, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he still did not let his guard down, and motioned to the "detective" in the team with his eyes, and the team member understood, arranged a simple ceremony, confirmed Roman's identity, and also confirmed that he did not have the smell of filth and depravity, and then asked Córdoba. Royer nodded.

Get the "detective" gesture of Córdoba. Royer then looked at Roman and asked, "You just said the Gnostic stronghold?" ”

Roman nodded, "Yes, a Gnosis stronghold, just around the neighborhood, and there's, uh, a pool of dead witches in it. ”

"A puddle of ......".

Without giving everyone time to sigh, Roman led the way in front and hurried towards the house just now.

Cordoba. Royer also motioned for the team to follow.

Upon arriving at his destination, Roman stopped at the door of the house and signaled for arrival.

Some members are responsible for guarding the surroundings, "detectives" begin to arrange rituals, use abilities, and "scene backtracking" to investigate the situation that has just happened, determine whether there is danger, and eliminate extraordinary traps, and some members assist and protect from the side.

For a while, it was gradually advancing into the room in an orderly manner.

Seeing this scene, Roman couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being an experienced "substitute punisher" team, the division of labor and cooperation between the team members, mutual coordination, each performing their own duties, at a glance, is well-trained.

In this dangerous world, even the old pigeons, who are known for their recklessness and irritability, deal with extraordinary events simply and directly, not simply reckless and brainless.

Thinking about myself just now, relying on the reckless behavior of the witch remnants of the witch, he directly entered this room, and he felt that he was on the road of extraordinary, and he was also an out-and-out rookie.

As Roman reflected on himself, the "substitutes" went to the basement and began to examine them carefully and carefully.

Out of consideration to avoid suspicion, and also feeling that he could not play a role in the house, Roman did not go down to the basement, but talked to Sothos. Jan stayed in the upper room with the two "substitutes" who stayed outside in case something unexpected happened.

Sothos who just escaped death. Young, still looking a little sluggish, but still solemnly thanked Roman.

Roman was also surprised that he had just been able to hold out under the witch's attack until his arrival, and asked as he thought about it.

As for the "substitutes" next to them, Roman and Sotos. Jan didn't even mean to avoid them.

Through some chatting, Roman learned about the situation before he arrived.

"That woman was hidden in my room before, and when I found out that there was an enemy invasion, I was attacked by the black flame, and she wanted to ask me a question at that time, so she didn't kill me at the first time."

Sothos. Yang still had palpitations, "And the reason why I was lucky enough to barely maintain my self-consciousness under the attack of the black flame is actually this. ”

Sothos. Jan said, unbuttoning his collar, revealing a coin hanging around his neck.
